    Toronto Four Eleven King Condominiums | 149.04m | 45s | Great Gulf | KPMB

    Now that's my kind of high-rise! Bring it on!

    Toronto 88 Scott Street | 203.9m | 58s | Concert | P + S / IBI

    And? I don't see why we should plan the city based on projects from the 70s. Sure they're nice, but shrinking development to preserve the view of the Financial Core will just look forced, and would likely not succeed at protecting the view anyhow. I say embrace supertall Yonge Street and make it...

    Toronto King-Bathurst Transit Oriented Community: South Site | 88.9m | 25s | Infrastructure ON | SvN

    The city loses another cultural space for yet another souless development. Colour me shocked.

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Either one, or split the job and continue designing top-notch buildings on the side.

    Toronto Casa II Condos | 184.09m | 56s | Cresford | a—A

    Chaz seems clunkier than Casa, and the latter has the better podium by far. Otherwise tallest > shortest.

    Toronto One Bloor East | 257.24m | 76s | Great Gulf | Hariri Pontarini

    Hariri Pontarini for mayor! I'm only half kidding.

    Toronto 7 St Thomas | 38.71m | 9s | St. Thomas | Hariri Pontarini

    Elegant and stunning. A true success for the city's architectural portfolio. I love that it's kind of tucked away too, just waiting to be discovered by chance.

    Toronto Casey House | ?m | 4s | Hariri Pontarini

    I love any attempt at being bold. I'll have to see it in person to be sure, but I think I'm in love.

    Toronto Pace Condos | 146.3m | 42s | Great Gulf | Diamond Schmitt

    We're well on our way to becoming an urban Amazon! /s

    Toronto Karma Condos | 165.8m | 50s | Lifetime | a—A

    Mies van der Rohe would be proud!

    Toronto Aqualina at Bayside | 47.85m | 13s | Tridel | Arquitectonica

    I'm in favour of it, solid 7/10.

    Toronto 280 Jarvis Street | 74.7m | 22s | Antorisa Investments | Giannone Petricone

    Those are beautiful! Thank you for finding them. I don't think I've ever seen them before.

    Toronto 365 Church Condos | 102.1m | 31s | Menkes | Wallman Architects

    It's so frustrating how people use the excuse of "the market should control aesthetics" because it clearly isn't. So people resolve to see permanent ugly monoliths intrude on our city with only the developer benefiting. I'm sorry but that excuse doesn't cut it for me. Could we expedite proposals...

    Toronto Sun Life Financial Tower & Harbour Plaza Residences | 236.51m | 67s | Menkes | Sweeny &Co

    Really? I actually think it looks quite nice, maybe I just need to see it in person.

    Toronto Fleur Condos | 85.34m | 29s | Menkes | a—A

    Those are some of the best, most realistic renders I've ever seen.

    Toronto Pinnacle on Adelaide | 144.47m | 46s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    Condos frequently replace surface parking lots with underground parking in the core. There are usually still the same amount of public spaces underground as were replaced. Honestly, I don't care since I'm all for anything that disincentives private car use.

    Ont Gov't building at 880 Bay, at Grosvenor St (ORC, 44s?, WZMH)

    I was walking past here the other day and just as I was passing the intersection I heard what I thought was an explosion. It was probably just something being demolished, but damn was it ever alarming. I even had my headphones on and it still shook me. Once I realized what was going on I...

    Toronto SQ Spadina Queen Condos at Alexandra Park | 43.89m | 14s | Tridel | Teeple Architects

    I was referring to the placement of balconies and the overall massing. You can see what I mean in Adjei's first photo from November 24th. Hapahazard might not have been the right word though. Messy might have been a better word. I mean it in the best way.

    Toronto The New Residences of Yorkville Plaza | 92.05m | 31s | Camrost-Felcorp | WZMH COMPLETE

    It is really bad. Everything about this project has been one misstep after another.
